Upon discovery, photos of the items were taken and shared with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team (E.O.D), following which a safety cordon was established. Once the E.O.D team arrived at the scene, a controlled explosion was safely carried out. However, one of the items was still highly explosive, resulting in a large crater being created in the sand/clay.
